Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers coin from the Duchy of Nassau is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued during the reign of Duke Wilhelm (William) of Nassau, who ruled from 1822 to 1828. During his reign, the German states were in the process of adopting a new currency, the Vereinsthaler, which would replace the various local currencies that were in use at the time. The 3 Kreuzers coin was one of the last coins to be minted before the transition to the new currency, and it features a unique design that reflects the cultural and historical context of the time.
